THE EVOLUTIONARY STABILITY OF CROSS-SEX, CROSS-TRAIT GENETIC COVARIANCES [PDF]
Evolution, 2014 Although knowledge of the selective agents behind the evolution of sexual dimorphism has advanced considerably in recent years, we still lack a clear understanding of the evolutionary durability of cross-sex genetic covariances that often constrain its evolution.

Combining ability and heritability estimates of main agronomic characters in rapeseed breeding lines using line × tester analysis [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2012 To estimate the general and specific combining ability (GCA and SCA) effects of plant height, yield components, seed yield and oil content, three testers and six lines of spring type of rapeseed varieties were crossed using line × tester fashion ...

Plasmodium falciparum genetic crosses in a humanized mouse model
Nature Methods, 2015 Genetic crosses of phenotypically distinct strains of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are a powerful tool for identifying genes controlling drug resistance and other key phenotypes. Previous studies relied on the isolation of recombinant

Genetic drift opposes mutualism during spatial population expansion [PDF]
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 111, 1037-1042 (2014), 2014 Mutualistic interactions benefit both partners, promoting coexistence and genetic diversity. Spatial structure can promote cooperation, but spatial expansions may also make it hard for mutualistic partners to stay together, since genetic drift at the expansion front creates regions of low genetic and species diversity. To explore the antagonism between

Genome Assembly Improvement and Mapping Convergently Evolved Skeletal Traits in Sticklebacks with Genotyping-by-Sequencing. [PDF]
, 2015 Marine populations of the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have repeatedly colonized and rapidly adapted to freshwater habitats, providing a powerful system to map the genetic architecture of evolved traits.

eQTL epistasis – challenges and computational approaches
Frontiers in Genetics, 2013 The determination of eQTL epistasis - a form of functional interaction between genetic loci that affect gene expression - is an important step towards the thorough understanding of gene regulation.
